chocolatepotMy car has slow-leaky tires, a huge hole in the exhaust, and no power steering, but it's not getting fixed because it's worth about $500 on the market. There was a used car from my dad's company I was going to look at that was reasonable (kind of high mileage - the people at Farm Credit do a lot of driving - but only a couple of years old) but it just sold. I'm planning to go with a lease, but with few dealerships around here I have little choice, so I'm going to wait until Thanksgiving and try to get one near Albany. Guess I'm just ... not going to drive anywhere for a while.
Kind of nice to make the decision, tbh. It's awkward and means I'm going to have to find a ride to get to our chorus concert in Ogdensburg on 11/11, but now paying $1200 for repairs is off the table for good and I never have to go, "should I walk or drive?" because the answer is now always "walk".
Unfortunately, "should I replace my coat, down coat, sneakers, boots, and jeans, all of which are either dead or nearly there?" is still on the table.
